Autism’s Got Talent is back on the road
Autism’s Got Talent is back on the road
ONCE again the Autism’s Got Talent Roadshow has blown peoples minds with their performers amazing talent.
The roadshow was held in the beautiful St Ives Theatre and supported by Phillip Barnet, the fabulous KidzRus performers and the Mayor of St Ives.
Anna Kennedy OBE founder of Autism’s Got Talent told Charity Today:
“I was so happy to be working alongside my People’s Strictly pal Phil! We had been talking about organising something together since dancing on the BBC’s Comic Relief Strictly three years ago, and we were so excited that it finally happened on Saturday, and what a show it was!”
The Roadshow consisted of thirteen talented performers including; singers, dancers, percussionists and gymnasts that showcased their talent to an audience that were blown away and gave numerous standing ovations.
The performers traveled from all over the country and they come from all walks of life and differing backgrounds, they have formed the most genuine and amazing friendships that will clearly continue after the show.
Phill Wills Ambassador for AnnaKennedyonline was shown an emotional film of his autistic son’s Josh’s adventures since coming home after being in hospital in Birmingham for three years due to lack of services in Truro.
Maggie Paterson Principal of Pineapple Performing Arts supported the charity presenting some of the performers who also have won scholarships through our charity, at the world class Pineapple Dance Studios.
Anna shared: “I love how all of our performers step it up one million percent from the technical rehearsals during the day, and then go on stage and give the most amazing performance to wow the audience. The confidence boost, acceptance and joy on their face walking off the stage is the icing on the cake for me and so wonderful to see.”
A local photographer from St Ives shared on social media:
‘We lapse into hyperbole all the time, me more than most, but I have just returned from a phenomenal evening at the St Ives Theatre as two of the stars of the People’s Strictly, the incredible Anna Kennedy and Philip Barnett organised and hosted Autism’s Got Talent. It was a fantastic show with 15 stunning acts. From a truly humbling night that all privileged to witness will never forget, every performer will feature in a video I will soon make. Some of the footage may not be very good but it’s hard to film with tears in your eyes. I know I will not be able to produce something truly worthy of Anna, her team and of course the performers but that’s OK because I can’t see how anyone could.’
Anna and her team a off to the Wirral in November for their next Autism’s got Talent Roadshow working with Autism Together. Visit www.annakennedyonline.com for more details.
